A nameless response…: where naming slips away, where a sensual territory emerges, lifted by the materials and supports that compose the work of Nairy Baghramian.
In resonance with the exhibition, Marie Goudot proposes a performance of presence, over time, throughout a weekend, engaging the gaze and the body to respond directly to the works as they present themselves to us. She opens up a space, a hiatus between what we perceive and what it could be, between the visible and that which allows itself to be intuited.
It is a matter of what is hidden, of what escapes the first glance. A work exhibited here does not always fully reveal itself: the concealed half possesses a beauty equal to that which is revealed when the body of the viewer accepts to pivot, to move, to explore. What lies beneath the support? The answer unfolds through movement, a translation takes shape live; the body here can neither hide nor be named.
Marie Goudot’s steady gaze then becomes a mirror: it generates interpretations, emergences, fragments of images seized on the fly and returned live, giving rise to a feeling of “the uncanny.”
The performance takes place within this unstable space where naming is not sufficient to produce meaning, where language fails to fix what remains moving, sensitive, and indeterminate.
